BR traction instructor Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Unforeseen pandemics/new strains of existing ones etc will always have a knock on effect but it is currently realistic to expect those timings. BeRTIe 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Expo EM Bracknell, 2022. The sight of Mr. Suttons knees at the above set me all a of a dither! Has it really been over two years? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be rude not to share a slightly wider photo of the works 'photo plank', taken just before the show - and before I got to see the 'Highland' Class 24s! Will there be another run of this loco in the future? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium SHerr Posted June 9, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 9, 2022 Great update, the one thing I am left wondering is about the snowploughs which are referenced as 3 piece (obviously prototypical). However I’m wondering/hoping if these will have the option for ‘outers only’ for those that use couplings. I asked the same question of Accurascale for the 37’s and was delighted to get the response that both full 3 piece and outers only would be supplied. There’s almost nothing more frustrating or worse looking on a Scottish loco to have to choose between snowplough and couplings when it should be feasible to have both. Fingers crossed. Also note to self re comments about maintaining prices, I must get round to updating my pre order to Sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR traction instructor Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) You must mean a prototypical shackle coupling cos a toy coupling would clearly interfere with the prototypically correct centre section of the miniature ploughs. There would be very little modelling to do to remove the centre section to make room for the RTR tension lock style of coupling though.

BeRTIe Most RTR ploughs fit into the NEM socket, preventing the use of the NEM coupler. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR traction instructor Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) …correct…very little modelling required to create the two side ploughs/tension lock arrangement. I haven’t modelled one that way so can’t speak of which pipework would also have to be sacrificed either.

RMweb Gold Dicky L Posted June 10, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2022 From the email update A bit more information on the next batch of ‘Skinhead’ Class 24s is also overdue but we are sensitive to the fact that we don’t want to list too much on our website until product starts coming through… Unless you are you OK with this, knowing more models are forthcoming but will have to take their place in our backed-up production queue? Happy modelling... Philip, Jennie & Jamie Any information would be welcome.

Krieghoff Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Any news or updates yet on the Suttons Class 24. I know we have had a taster of the 25 but just wondering how things are progressing. Hopefully we will see these in 2023 at some point, electronics and manufacturing slots permitting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had mine on order since they were announced (a few years now) and my long-held 'back to my roots' Scottish layout plans need the Scottish locos....I have two of the earlier SLW 24's and frankly they leave competitor locos standing in terms of quality (especially the sound file and speaker arrangement) so I'm not willing to 'downgrade'. I was under the impression that the head-code ones were slated for the early part of next year, though? If not what a shame that all of the (equally lovely-looking) 25s in the initial batch are Western and Midland-region examples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Heljan's re-vamped 26 will beat the SLW 24s to the market then, that also looks to be a very promising model.

I think the 25 took priority due to Heljan getting theirs to market and Bachmann having one in the pipeline , the retooled Heljan 26 doesn't look too bad , had my hands on it at the DEMU show , I have a few of the older model , whether I upgrade depends on the finished product and if any are suitable to my requirements Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted November 16, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2022 Not sure that the 25 did leapfrog anything. Philip’s hand was rather forced into announcing it before he had intended, how long he had actually been working on it is not known. All I know is i look forward to my 25s and headcode 24s.
